LITERARY NOTICE. JUNIUS PROVED to be BURKE; with an Outline of his Biography. A new work lies just started with this title, , and its pretentious are ut least as strong, if not -stronger than any of its Predecessors in the same voyage of discovery. It is evident that the writer 'of this work was as intimate with the history anti character of Btu; art, probably from ..personal intefeourse a's he appears to be con versant with the memorable Letters of ..luNrus, which he here decidedly ascribes to the great Limb Orator, the ornament of the British Senate, awl of British Literature. The author analytically traces BURK E and JUN I us. He compares what he had written with what he had spoken, and altogether seems to have afforded a more probable developement of the secret, and more satisfactory evidence on the subject, than have ap. Peered in all former publications of the same tendency. JUNIUS, like the ever-interesting -question of The Tread, will secure the attention •of mankind as long as poli►ics, poetry, literature in general, and, we may add, the British Consti tution, shall exist. We have no room for ex tracts at present, but we confidently recommend this interesting work to the attention of the friends of literature, of departed genius, and of Abair country. BRITISH SPIRITS.-ENGLISH MARKET (From the Glasgow Courier.) - We are able to lay before our readers a car. Tect account of the demur that has arisen to pre vent the free introduction of British Spirts into the English market. It proceedS from the Dis tillers putting one construction upon the Act, and we think the right OHO, and the Getwral Board of Excise anotber. The object is to guard against the chance of the Scotch Distiller, who get a drawback of Qs. per gallon on Malt 'Spirits .in Scotland, from mixing these with Grain Spirits, and then sending the mixed spirits of England, where the distiller ob►ains no draw. ~back, on Malt Spirits. It is satisfactory, how. ,ever, to state, that the objection was not suffered to extend to, or to interfere with the Grain and INlalt Spirits, sent to England, and banded during the last quarter ; but the construction put upon the act, and the order issued by the Board of Excise,.in consequence, has paralysed the trade, and prevented the Distillers for the motneut from forwarding any more spirits to England, till the difficulty is cleared up, and removal, which it is iexpected will soon be. The Distiller conceives that, by the act, he may clear out spirits, for 'the English market, from his warehouse, provid -big he has only the kind of spirits, malt, or grain, which he clears , out at the time,_on his hands.-- The Excise think differently. The following is the clause of the Act on which the difference of opinion rests, and to it we annex the substance the instructions issued by the Excise on the SUbjeCi. • " XCIX. Provided always, and be it further enacted, That .ron Spirits which shall toe or shall have been made or distilled in :Scotland or Ireland respectively from unmalted Corn or Grain, mixed or unmixed with Malt, shall be taken out Of any Ware house, Store, or Place, for removal to England, unless such Spirits were made or warehoused by some Distiller, having, at the time when such Spirits were so made and warehoused, no Spirits made from Malt only, or on which any allowance shall be or shall not have been made in respect of the Duty on such Malt in his or her Stock or Possession, or in such Warehouse, and which shall be so certified by the proper Officetat the time . of warehousing, and also at the delivery thereof." SUBSTANCP: Or A 01,4E4t.U. OVER. " It appearing that, in some cases, the 99th section of the 6th Geo. IV. cap, 60, has been construed to authorize Spirits made from unmalted Corn and Grain, either to be deposited in • duty-free warehousea, or to be sent to England at a time when Use Distiller to whom they belonged had Spirits made from Malt only, on which the allowance of the Malt drawback had been allowed in some other duty-free warehouse, "The Commissioners direct you to take notice, and apprise the several Supervisors and Officers in your collection, for the .iinmediate information and guidance of themselves and the Distillers therein, that such construction is considered contrary to the meaning and intention of said clause, and, therefore, Me is tote taken that no Spirits made from unmated Corn be taken out of any warehouse, or removed to Eagland, unless it can be certified by the officer, that neither at the time when such spirits were made and warehoused, nor at the time of application for delivery thereof, the distiller had any spirits made from malt only, or on which any allowance may be, or may have been made, in respect of such malt in his stock or pos session, whether in any duty-free-warehouse or otherwise." FATAL, A cemENT.—Yesterday, about three o'clock, a number of boys and young men col lected upon the ice upon the liver, a little above South Weltington-place, to engage in the aillUse- MPIlt of skating and sliding. The ice, which, at that time, was not sufficiently strong, gave way, and seven or eight persons were precipitated into the river. By the exertions of the bye.standers, five were rescued from their perilous situation, but two youths, Wal ter heir and dames Clark, both book printers, were unfortunately drowned. The body of James Clark was found about Italf-an.hour after the accident, but the vital spark lied fled for ever; and Walter Keir's body was found about six o ' clock. A mongs t tbo , ,e who signalized them. selves in their efforts to save the sufferers, we most mention Lieut. Invert, of the 71st ltegi ntant, at present in garrison here. At the risque of his own life, this humane and gallant Officer dashed into the river, and by his individual exertions saved three persons from death. Jansei Clark lost his life in attempting to rescue his fellow sufferer ; having got a college. gown from a student standing by, he threw it in that Kt;ir might catch hold of it ; in this he did not succeed, and the ice gave way under him. On Tuesday morning, a boy narrowly escaped d r owning near the same pl ace . By the exertion of persons on the bank a rope was thrown unto him, and by this menus he was dragged ashore w i t h cons id e rable difficelty.--(Glasgoto Courier, jun, 12.) HON.

She read it with the same sentiments as I did, and gratefully acknowledges the noble motives by which you were guided.

It has pleased him to call before him the Emperor Alex ander I. of glorious memory, and we all have lost a Father, a Ruler, who, during 23 years, was the happiness of Russia THIRD SUPPLEMENT. MANIFESTO OF TIRE EMPEROR ALE/ANDER. " We, by the Grace of God, Alexander the first, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, &C. &c. " Make known to our faithful subjects; that from the moment we ascended the Throne of Russia, we have invariably felt, that it was our duty towards Almighty God, not only to maintain during our reign the happiness of our dear country and of our people, butalso to prepare and secure a clear and exact appoint ment of our Successor, according to the laws of our Imperial and of us. " When, on the 27th Nov. the information of . this disastrous event reached us, we hastened, even In this moment of the most acute grief, to fulfil a sacred duty, and, lie.tening only to the dictates of our hearts, we rendered the oath of fidelity to our elder Brother, the Cesitrowitsch Grand Duke CONSTANTIN/I as legitimate Heir to the Russian Throne in virtue of primo geniture. " Scarcely had we discharged this sacred duty when we were apprised by the Senate that there had been deposited in their hands, on the 15th October, 1823, a letter, with the seal of the deceased Emperor, and with the superscription in the own hand-writing of his Imperial MAJESTY : "I'o be preserved by the Senate until my further commands; in case of my death however, this packet is to be opened, in an Extraordinary Sit 'fing, before any other act is proceed in ;" that this most gra cious command had been complied with, and that the follow documents were contained in the packet:— " I. A letter of the Cesarowitclr Grand Duke Constantine, dated 14th January, 1822, addressed to his Majesty the de ceased Emperor, by . virtue of which his Imperial Highness renounces the sucession to the throne, belonging to him by primogeniture. " 2. A manifesto, dated Aug. 16,1823, bearing the auto. graph signature of his Imperial Majesty, whereby his Majesty, after the ratification of the Deed of Abdication of the Cesare. witch Grand Duke Constantine, establishes that we, the next in age, are heir to the Crown, according to the fundamental laws of the Empire. " We were further informed that documents of' the same tenor had been deposited with the directing Senate, with the Holy Synod, and in the Cathedral Church of the Ascension at Moscow. " These informations could not alter our resolution once taken. We observed in these Documents only a renunciation of his Imperial Highness during the life of the Emperor, and con firmed by the consent of Ills Imperial Majesty ; but we had neither the wish, nor the right, to consider this abdication, which when it took place was not proclaimed publicly, and had not received the power of a law, as irrevocable. We would not manifest by this our veneration of the first fundamental Law of our country, and of the unalterable order of the succes sion, and faithful to the oath we had taken, we insisted that the whole Empire should follow our example. " Under these momentous circumstances it was not our in tention to disute the validity of the resolution pronounced by his Imperial highness, much less was it our intention to bring ourselves in opposition to the will of the deceased, ' Emperor, our common father and benefactor, which will always remain sacred to us: We endeavoured solely to protect the law, regu ating the succession to the throne, from every infringement, o chew tie purity of our sentiments, and not to leave our be loved country one single moment in uncertainty respecting its legitimate Sovereign: " This resolution, taken with a pure conscience, and before GO the Almighty, was blessed and, approved by her Majesty the Empress Maria, our nutch beloved Alother. " Ileanwile, the mournful account of the decease of his Ma. jesty had reached Warsaw, direct from Toganrok, on Nov 25, and consequently two days prior to its being received here.— . .Firm in Ins resolution, the Cesarowitch Grand Duke Constan tine confirMed the same on the following day by two Acts, dated Nov: 26, and commissioned to our beloved brother, the Grand Duke Michael to carry theta to us. These Acts consist. ed in— " 1. A letter to her Majesty the Empress, our much belov ed Mother, in which his Imperial Highness renews his former resolution, supports it by the copy of a rescript of the deceas ed Emperor, dated the 2d of February, 1922 ' and serving as an answer to the Act of . Abdication,' and finally renounces solemnly all his claims to the throne, and recognised the same as transferred to us and our successors, according to the appointments contained in the fundamental Law of the Suc cession. , " 2. A letter directed to us, wherein his Imperial Highness, , anew declares his former resolution, gives us the title of l m . penal Majesty, and receives for himself, only, the former one by Cesarowitch, and calls himself the most faithful of our sub jects. " however decisive these acts were, and although they prov ed to ocular demonstration that the resolution aids Imperial blightiess was irrevocably fixed, yet our own sentiments, and the situation of affairs; induced us 'to defer the publication of the aforesaid Acts, until the will of his Imperial Highness with reference to the oath taken by us and the whole empire should be (lectured. " Whereas we have now also received on the part of his Imperial Highness this last declaration of his will, we commu nicate the same to our subjects, accompanying it by the follow ing documents:— , "- 1. The letter of his Imperial Highness the Cesarowitch Grand Duke Constantine to the deceased Emperor Alexander. 2. The answer of his Imperial Majesty. " 3. The manifesto of the deceased Emperor,_ which con- Rime the Abdication of his I m perial' Highness, and recognises us as successor to the throne. - 4. The letter of his Imperial Highness to her Majesty the Empress, our much beloved mother. 6. The letter of his Imperial Ilig,liness directed to us. " In conformity with all these documents, and with all the fundamental law of the Empire regarding e order of succes sion—full of veneration for the impenetrable decrees of a gni& ing Providence—we now ascend the throne of our ancestors, the throne- of the Empire of all the - Russia* its well as the thrones inseparable therefrom—that of the kingdom of Poland, and the Grand Duchy of Finland, and command, I. That the oath of allegiance be rendered to us and to the heir of our throne, the Grand Duke Alexander, Imperial Highness, our much beloved Son: "-2. That the period of our ascension to the throne, be sal. culated front the 19th November, 1825. " Finally, we call upon all our faithful subjects_ to join us in fervent prayers to the Ahnighty, that he will grant us strength to bear the. burthen he has, in his Divine Provi dance, laid upon us, that he may preserve in us the firm re solution to live solely for our beloved country and to tread in the footsteps of the Monarch whom we now deplore. " May our reign be nothing but a continuation of his, and way we fulfil all the wishes for Russia's happiness, which ani whose sacred memory shall preserve in us the en dueldatveoduirlinanltl the hope, to merit the blessing of Heaven, and the love of our people.

" We were not able to appoint him immediately, according to the example of our predecessors, under the expectation in which we were, whether it might not please Providence to grant us an heir to the throne in a direct ling. But the more we in. crease In years, the more we think it necessary to hasten in placing our throne in such a state that it cannot remain vacant fora iiioment. " Whilst we were impressed with this anxiety, our dearly beloved Brother the Cesarowitch and Grand Duke Constan- tine, in following his own inclination, addressed to us the re quest of transferring his right to the dignity of the Throne to which he might hereafter be raised by his birth, to such person who may be entitled to it in default of him. Heat the same time declared, by this means, his consent to the Supplementary Act respecting the Succession to the Throne,which was granted by us in the year 1820, and acknowledged by him voluntarily and solemnly, and give new force to it as for as the same con cerns him. " We are deeply affected by this sacrifice, which our dearly beloved Brother has resolved to make with such great self denial for the confirmation of the hereditory statutes of our Imperial House, and the unshaken tranquillity of the Russian Empire. " A fter having invoked the assistance of God, and having duly and maturely considered an object as dear to our he art as it is impartant to the etate, and finding that the statutes which related to the order or succession to the throne do not deprive those Who have a right to it of the power of relinquishing the same, if no difficulty exists with respect to the hue of succes sion, we have, therefore, with the previous consent of our lustrious Mother, as well as the high power of the head of the Imperial Family, which came to us by inheritance; and mindful of the power granted us by God, have commanied as follows : " ALEXANDER.''

" In the &Si place, the voluntary act, by which our elder brother the Cesarowitch and Grand Duke Constantine, re. flounced his rights to the Russian throne, shall remain firm and irrevocable. In order to secure the publicity of the said Act of Renunciation, it shall be deposited in the Grand Cathedral Church of Ascension, at Moscow, and with our three highest authorities, the Holy Synod, the Senate, and the Directing Senate. " Secondly—With respect to the arrangement, anti in confor. mity with the exact tenor of the act of succession to the throne, we acknowledge, as our successor, our second brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas. In this manner we reserve to ourselves the pleasing hope, that on the day when it shall please the King of Kings, according to the universal law of all mortals, to call us from our temporal. government to eternity, the Chief State Officers of the Empire (to whom our present and irrevocable will, as alao our present legal appointment, shall, by our order, be communicated in due time,) will use all diligence in swear ing the Oath of Allegiance to the hereditary Emperor, whom we have just now appointed to the throne of the Russian Em. pire, as well as to the inseparable Throne of the kingdom of Polund and the Grand Duchy of Finland. " With respect to ourselves, we request all our faithful sub. jects will, with the same sentiments of love and affection which caused us to consider the care for their constant happiness as our greatest blessing upon earth, direct their fervent prayers to our Lord and Wiour Jesus Christ, that, in his mfini' mercy, he may receive our souls into his everlasting Kingdot,.

The following are extracts of letters received yesterday by the Hamburgh mail : BERLIN, JAN. 4.—By accounts just arrived from St. Peters. burgh we are informed that that capital was mode a theatre 01 disorder and bloodshed on the 27th of last month. On the 25th, the Grand Duke Nicholas had been proclaimed the Em peror and Autocrat of all the Ilussias, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Finland, &c. &c.; and on the 27th, the troops were ordered out, and required to swear the oath of allegiance. This was, however, refused by two battalions, who declar they would acknowledge no Emperor but Constantine. To make things more critical, many of the people did embrace the cause of the rebels and joined them. General Miloradowitach, ' who approached the rebels to harangue them, was killed 03- the spot by a pistol-shot, fired on him by an individual of the class of citizens.

By several couriers from Berlin, arrived here this morning at an early hour, we have been informed of a mutiny broken out amongst a part of the gar rison of the Russian, capital. That fatal event is reported as follows :—" To take the oath of allegiance to the Empewr Ni. cholas, all the regiments of the Guards had been ordered out to their respective alarm-posts, each separately. This ceremony having been performed by several regiments, the Emperor came also to that bearing the name of the Muscovite Re giment, and called on it to fulfil the same duty; hut, in stead of prompt compliance therewith, its Colonel advanced and objected they had not been yet released of their oath sworn to Constantine about 14 days before. After some altercation with this Colonel, who solicited at least a delay till the next day, the Emperor ordered General Miloradowitseh to advance instantly with two other regiments to disarm the rebels; but when they had come within mu ket-shot, the rebels fired a volley on them, by which a great number were killed or wound ed. A vigorous attack on the rebels cow commenced, end they were subdued utter a severe contest, which also cost many lives of that part of the people that had joined them. The General Al iloradowitsch is said to have been killed by.a pistol shot fired on him by a man in a black civil habit. After the restoration of order, a Te Deans was sung in all the churches.
